Is there any particular reason to want to abandon SVN? It has been serving its purpose fine until now, as far as I can see.

I also feel comfortable with svn, but I am open for git (if it really fits all our needs).

But I would prefer not to have google as hosting platform, it's not trustworthy in my opinion (this is just my personal feeling).

why not sourceforge?
also, i do not have a high speed network, so git is much better to view the changlog and diff on different revisions.

I agree on that. In addition, SF has more features we might want to make use of, like MANTIS. Also, most of us have an account on SF anyways and I don't really want to have a Google account, if possible.

Coming to GIT - I agree with Thomas here, the only meaningful client that really takes things away from command line tools is SmartGIT, which (starting with the next version) also supports strong SVN/GIT coupling. You might be aware that those systems work very well together if setup properly (we do that at work that way).

This brings me to the last topic: I *think* we can have both: SVN and GIT and keep them in sync. As we have 2 alive SVN branches I don't want to switch for the moment without merging them first. I'll check, if SF offers tidy coupling of GIT and SVN repos...

I just find SF immensely user unfriendly, both as a maintainer, a downloader and a contributor. I started trying to use it for my own FOSS projects (none anywhere near as big as CB, it must be said), and gave up. I then switched to Google Code, with whom I've had no real problems for a couple of years, and who are currently hosting 8 of my projects.

Having said that, I'm not a contributor to CB, and of course the preferences of you devs must take precedence. I'd just like to see you not diving head-first into SF without considering the  alternatives carefully - you do have a couple of months to make up your minds, after all.
